Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc. is developing new solutions for vehicle safety. Its flagship product, the Uniform Deceleration Unit or UDU, is a unique structure that has the ability to absorb an enormous amount of energy during a vehicle crash. The patent-pending UDU is designed to fit into the wheel well of virtually any light vehicle including cars, trucks, minivans, SUVs, or crossovers. During a small overlap front crash, UDU absorbs significant amounts of the kinetic energy and reduces the crash forces experienced by the vehicle driver and passengers. By absorbing energy, UDU prevents vehicle components from intruding into the driver’s space during the crash. UDU is a clear improvement in vehicle safety, saving lives and preventing serious injuries from offset crashes.
